1. The purpose of this chapter is to provide specific regulations for the placement, construction and modification of personal wireless telecommunications facilities. The provisions of this ordinance are not intended to and shall not be interpreted to prohibit or to have the effect of prohibiting the furnishing of personal wireless services, nor shall the provisions of this ordinance be applied in such a manner as to unreasonably discriminate between providers of functionally equivalent personal wireless services. To the extent that any provision or provisions of this ordinance are consistent or in conflict with any other provision of the Lindon City Municipal Code or any ordinance of Lindon City, the provisions of this ordinance shall be deemed to control.

2. In the course of reviewing any request for any approval required under this chapter made by an applicant to provide personal wireless service or to install personal wireless service facilities, the Planning Commission or the City Council, as the case may be, shall act within a reasonable period of time after the request is duly filed with the city, taking into account the nature and scope of the request, and any decision to deny a request shall be in writing and supported by substantial evidence contained in a written record.

3. Should the application of this chapter have the effect of prohibiting a person or entity from providing personal wireless service to all or a portion of the city, such provider may petition the Planning Commission or the City Council for an amendment to this code. The Planning Commission or City Council, upon receipt of such a petition, shall promptly undertake review of the petition and shall make a determination on the petition within a reasonable period of time, taking into account the nature and scope of the petition, and any decision to deny such petition shall be in writing and supported by substantial evidence contained in a written record.
